40+ Poorly Designed Kids Toys That Are So Bad They're Great

Every toy is special and wonderful to the kid that owns it. But, it seems that not all toys are created equal. While most people would want that perfectly fashionable Barbie or that expertly designed Lego set, others prefer to look for the most horrible-looking toy in the store. Check out these toys that are so badly designed, they’re actually amazing! We can’t stop laughing at how freakishly funny these are!

Big Eyes

Some of the best (or worst - depending on how you look at it) examples of terrible toys come from Barbie knock-offs. It just seems like everybody hopes to recreate the absurd success of the beloved Mattel doll line, and obviously fails terribly at it.

These two attempts at fashion dolls somehow both fail in the exact same area. After all, the eyes are the windows to the soul. So, if you can't get those right, why would anyone want the rest of the doll, no matter how cute its outfit might be?

"There’s a Gym in My Boots"

When it comes to terrible designs, the best (or worst) have to be knock-off toys - those unlicensed merch toys that were made in some far-off place where they probably know nothing about the thing they're creating.

This Toy Story 5 Woody is the perfect example of that, especially since a fifth movie in the franchise has thankfully yet to be released. Nevertheless, this Sheriff seems more than ready to "destroy the forces of evil," just as the box tells us.

Piglet, No!

Kids' toys should always be happy and smiley. Otherwise, how would a child know that their toy is safe and inviting, right? Well, this little pig might have taken that happy expression just a little too far.

It really is almost adorable. But, thanks to those surprisingly uniform pearly whites, it's a lot more menacing than any creature from the hundred-acre wood should ever be. We wouldn't be surprised to learn that this version of Piglet just ate Tiger or Pooh.

The Spicy Margarita

Who doesn't love a pizza with a bit of a kick to it? This pizza action figure, though, looks like it might just be ready to throw down an actual punch or two. It might even salami you right into the oven.

Although we usually absolutely love this Italian dish, we think we might steer clear of this specific version of it. This is definitely one food-related toy you don't ever want to mess with.
